That beach, that respect, that country's different father-son relationship

I believe that the opening scene of Clive Owen driving a jeep on the beach with his little son sitting on the hood blowing the sea breeze is fascinating enough.
You'll forget where you are in space and time, and you'll be caught up in the visions of Australia as a country of all kinds.
There is a different feeling to watching a literary film and watching an action or scene film with strong audio-visual stimulation. I can't find the right word to describe the difference, but I feel peaceful in my heart, forget everything, and completely reminisce about it.
"The boys are back" is such a movie.
I remember that I once discussed this issue with a friend who came back from studying in the UK. The richer the family, the more family and kinship. Because money is no longer a lifelong pursuit of wealth for them, but emotions. In the same way, the richer a society is, the more it pursues its responsibilities to the family and society.
The Chinese are always criticizing the United States. Their global counter-terrorism is under the banner of the world police, interfering in other countries' human rights and internal affairs, and seeking resources. In fact, to put it another way, apart from the elements of national strategy, why can their global responsibilities gain the support and trust of the people? Because responsibility is their inner spiritual pillar, whether for family or society.
The past 30 years in China have undergone drastic changes, but only economically and materially. What we have learned is more about technology and economy than spirit. Every time I watch a movie that describes the different ways of family communication and different attitudes towards life in the West, I always reflect and envy. I always try to learn something from it, but I always fail. Thinking back on how harsh I was with my little niece was actually kind of hurt.
Perhaps, one day China's per capita GDP reaches that level, and our way of life can be changed spiritually.
If one day, we have a family and children, can we do it? Respect, responsibility and emotion.

    Best movie I've seen this year. The three fathers and sons, each has such deep pain. What passed away, in fact, never really left, and what was gained is because we all still have love. Australia is so beautiful, this family that relies on and cherishes each other is so beautiful. Many small details make people tremble, the screenwriter is good, the photography is good, the actors are good, and all five stars.

    Although it is adapted from a memoir, it is subtly dramatized after processing. It looks real but is isolated on the screen. One part is improperly expressed. The other part is emotional and psychological processing is rough and superficial. The other is the idealized part , How can the willfulness of men and children avoid falling down? After struggling, the film gave up thinking about the price. The narrative and scenes are messy. The male protagonist is actually quite outrageous. Owen's performance just happened to follow this feeling intentionally or not
